What is Quinoa?First, quinoa (pronounced keen’-wah) is gluten free, high in fiber and high in protein. Nutritionally, quinoa might be considered a super-grain: although it is not really a grain, but the seed of a leafy plant that’s distantly related to spinach. Quinoa has excellent reserves of protein, and unlike other grains, is not missing the amino acid lysine, so the protein is more complete. The World Health Organization has rated the quality of protein in quinoa to be very high. It offers more iron than other grains and contains high levels of potassium and riboflavin, as well as B6, niacin, and thiamin. Finally, quinoa is also a good source of magnesium, zinc, copper, and manganese, and has some folate (folic acid).
